You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

The Devil, too, sometimes steals human children; it is not infrequent for him to carry away infants within the first six weeks after birth, and to substitute in their place imps.

I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joy and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years.

This is the good and happy news, that Christ has paid for our sin, and through His suffering has redeemed us from eternal death. It is His kingdom and His ministry, to preach the Gospel to the poor; that is His purpose. For to the great and holy He cannot come. They do not wish to be counted sinners, and therefore do not need His Gospel.

God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.

No great saint lived without errors.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.
